Beyond the Shape
2 hours, including a 60-minute full practice
Invite the stories that live in your body to be expressed in movement, through sensation, curiosity and connection. An embodied practice starts us off so that we can feel into our own sense of stability, structure and space. Afterwards, we’ll begin exploring fascia as a living sensory network and consider what changes when we stop focusing on what movement looks like and begin listening to what it feels like.
Participants may submit this workshop toward their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.

Two Day Immersion: Movement from Within - Fascia, Embodiment & the Art of Listening
We are often taught yoga through shapes: where to place the foot, how far to stretch, what a posture should look like. But the body doesn’t experience movement as a collection of separate shapes. There is an inherent intelligence that we’ve lost touch with. The body experiences sensation, rhythm, relationship, memory and response. We can learn how to have a dialogue with the body.
This 2 day immersion with internationally recognised teacher and movement educator Julie
Martin is an invitation to move beyond the external form of yoga and enter into a deeper
conversation with your body.
Through 3 interconnected sessions, we’ll explore fascia as a living, sensory network—and
discover how it influences the way we move, feel, adapt and respond. Each session will
combine a complete embodied yoga and movement practice with accessible, experiential
learning.
Rather than imposing movement upon the body, you’ll learn how to listen, respond and move with greater curiosity. You’ll explore how strength can coexist with fluidity, how support can create freedom and how awareness can transform even the most familiar practice.
This isn’t about achieving more advanced postures. It’s about developing a more responsive, intelligent and deeply personal relationship with your body.
